Housing Development Corporation Darts Club.

Visited some 'otai' darters in HDC. The club was roomy with 3 boards.. hmm.. nice n convenient. Mr. Aju as their 'coach' with numbers of talented darters were there doing their daily routine training, while we came barging in. Only me and Zack tho.. lol The hall is actually a none smoking hall with air-condition blasted to full speed.. hehehehe.. but with only opening 1 window panel, the hall became "Smoking Zone" hahahaha.. For smokers, this is a good place too considering that we don't have to go outside just to take a sip of the 'petrol' lol..

Anyway, Mr. Aju was kind enough to call us in for a little sparring.. Even invited us for Friendly match on Thusrday night to prepare for Maksak 2011. Thank you very much for having us bro.

Just a little peek of their Dart Hall..

 Nice setup. All dartboards was placed on the stage. Semifinals and Finals would be played on the stage whenever they organize a tourney. Wonder when will HDC Open be held...

Sparred with all of the darters and managed to win most of the games.. lost to a couple of good darters including the host himself Mr. Aju. (have to 'give face' ma..) hahahaha...

Will be back for the Friendly match and this time no more 'give face..' hahaha.. *devilish laugh*

DBKU Social Darts Double...

I did mentioned on the invitation given to us for this social darts double. Remember, I said
that I wanted to blow them away.. lol.. It did happen but not by me in particular.. Thanks to
the Team of Zack n Aidiq and Woods and Big J as they met in the final. Zack n Aidiq won the final in style. Zack checking out on 73 in 2 darts. Treble 11 and Double Top. It was brilliant finish. Me, I wouldn't go for that route. I'll play safe with treble 19 for double 8 check out. The reason, say I miss the treble 19 and hits 19, I will have 54 with 2 darts in hand. Simple 14 and double top. Different with treble 11 route, if you miss the treble and hits 11, 62 balance in 2 darts will have to go for bull out. Double bull is really small when it's game on.. lol The route Zack took really shows the level of confident he has in winning the final. So, Congrats to both team.

Woods and Big J didn't a lot of wrong it just a case of one game too much. Woods was
in pain, courtesy of his right knee. The injury he picked up during a football match years ago
and he did undergo for operation last year. but still the pain is bothering him sometimes
especially after standing up for too long... Well, darts requires a player to stand for an extended amount of time.. lol Fact of life.. lol Big J too was showing some sign of tiredness.

Me and my new partner, Ramzan lost out on points to qualify to semifinal spot. In leageau phase, we won 3 and lost 3. Actually lost out on leg diff. to Zack and Aidiq. Ramzan played well considering he didn't throw some darts for like ages.. Me playing like 'I don't belong here..' sickness.. argh.. if only my Barney's darts got back 1 day earlier.. Anyway, what over is over.. Just get ourselves ready for the next..  hehehehe...

 Four boards used for the Social Darts in DBKU Muzium.

 Mamat's partner, don't know his name but thats him showing some respect for darts in his knee length shorts. Hmm... really respectful, no?  

Champion receiving their Winners cash of RM80. Congrats bro... 

1st Runner up receiving their RM60 for their effort in reaching the final.. Congrats again bros...

Hopefully many more finals to come. Keeping my fingers crossed for the whole year. and oh.. if anymore social darts to be held in Kuching, we'll be there to lend a hand in winning the finals.. hahahaha.. :P 

Barney is back.. err.. I mean the dart...

Like I said, it was once broken and now it's replaced. Too bad I didn't have the 'broken' pic. Somehow, I'm just happy it's back in my arm.. lol.. Unicorn Barney Phase II 25g.. been missing it for 2 weeks.. then again.. it's not my baby.. The other dart still in 'service' is.. Unicorn Adrian Lewis Latinum Tungsten 22g.. It's lighter but my grip and throw is just right.. Anyway, Thanks to Mr. Aju for the great 'service'.. oh.. forgot to mention, the points are really sharp and I mean really sharp and it's really thin and tiny. Just look at the pics below..

The points was made from a stainless steel needle used for sewing rag. The size of the needle, I'm not sure but it's really, very clever and innovative modification of the needle.. lol It was shaped with safety precaution too, so if the points ever gets broken again it will break at the weakest part of the point, that is at the beginning of the tiny pointed steel point. Thus, it will leave enough length of point for us to pull out the remaining steel point. Hmm.. make sense, no? Well, let's just hope it never breaks again.. lol

 Notice the colour of the darts. The one in the middle(with burnt marks) is the one with broken point. I figured that Mr. Aju torched the darts to the steel melting point so it's easier to pull out. The density of the tungsten darts is higher so it doesn't get melted easily as steel does.

 Changed the position so the serviced dart is at the lowest position in this pic. For whatever reason that is.. lol

 After some cleaning of the darts. Managed to clean most of the burnt marks.. but still visible tho.. :(

Better view but still not clear enough.. Camera phone is not really the best cam for capturing details type of pics.. lol

Been practicing with the darts but feels akward at first. The first few throw hits anywhere but the 20s.. lol after like 5 mins, then it starts to hit the 20s.. Then it starts to make me feel 'Let's get it home now!!!' Hahahaha.. One week to go for the 3Some Open Tourney.. Make the best of it.. C'mon...!!! :P 

Places to go 2..

Office... ok, maybe it's not a place for other darters to go for training or sparring but it's a place, nonetheless.. Located in the Pantry, also not the best location for darting.. lol but we need the thick carpet to absorb fallen or bounced out darts. I know thats a lame reason but it (dartboard stand) was there all along and nobody bother to re-allocate the stand.. lol I was sparring with Zack and Woods to prepare ourselves for the 3Some Open end of this month.. I just hope we'll do well.. *crossing finger* The arrangement now are... Team Pustaka A, Zack, Are Feezand and AidiQ. Team Pustaka B, Woods, Big J and dartskch. (err... that's me.. lol) Our office will be sending 2 teams. Also to prepare for the coming Maksak which is just around the corner.. Too late to train now, you say.. we're not only going to defend our 3rd place but to raise it 1 or 2 notch higher.. Hahahahaha.. *Devilish laugh*

I was sparring with and old set of darts which I bought from an old friend.. lol.. Think it's a Winmau. Don't know which model but I was told that the darts was released during the 80's.. 19g is too light for me.. To go from 25g to 19g really kills my scoring and check out. We played 5 legs and Woods won 3, me 2 legs and Zack went back with ZERO.. Off course not without his trademark saying, "tok bukan permainan sebenar aku..." Hahahahaha..  but we all believe his real game is much better than this.. We all believes in his ability, just as he believes in us.. lol *touchy touchy* We're going to kick some arse in Maksak 2011. Watch out for us.. Yeah!!!!

Broken...

Maybe some of you might be wondering about my sad darts stories coz I didn't post any of the pictures here.. Ok, I just took back 1 set of the broken darts I mentioned earlier.. It broke just at the end of the dart barrel as in the pics below. This is my old dart set. It was Harrows Assassin 23g I think.. Can't remember anymore.. lol

Sorry for the quality.. lol camera phone does that alot.. lol..  The other 2 sets still with Mr. Aju and hopefully I can get it back before the 3some later this month.. *crossing finger*

Wishlist

Sigma XL Super Pro.. My next target.. Hopefully Makario Sports got this set in their next order. Someone, be nice.. send me this as gift.. lol but make sure it's 23g. *demanding face*
